Chapter 114: First Training Session

Seeing Chen Fan's strenuous expression, Tian Xiong felt a secret pleasure in his heart. He deliberately said: "Haha, Chen Fan, this is the treatment a captain should have. A load of 4000 catties shouldn't be much of a problem for you, right?"

What do you think? Chen Fan couldn't help but roll his eyes. Can't you see that I'm already having difficulty breathing?

But he still gritted his teeth and said: "A small matter."

"Haha, gutsy!" Tian Xiong patted his shoulder heavily, almost knocking him to the ground.

He looked at the group again and said: "Although you are all geniuses, your control over your physique is far behind. When attacking, your whole body's muscles are like loose sand; the strength cannot be exerted together, and the power exploded is much weaker than imagined!"

"If it were me, the power exploded with your physique would be at least three times stronger!"

"Three times? How is this possible?" The group was surprised, their voices involuntarily raised a few notches.

If he said one time stronger, they would still believe it; after all, in terms of control over the body, they were far behind Grandmaster powerhouses.

Grandmaster powerhouses can easily mobilize every muscle and every inch of tendon and bone in the body, thereby having stronger explosive power.

But to say a three-fold gap, it was truly a bit unbelievable.

"The human body is like an undeveloped secret treasure. When you truly master it, you can gain unimaginable harvests! Follow my training; I can't guarantee anything else, but within a month, it's still possible to increase your explosive power by one time!!"

Tian Xiong's gaze swept over the group present and said lightly.

The group couldn't help but widen their eyes, especially Gao Yuan. His gaze toward Tian Xiong was particularly burning, almost falling down to worship him.

Tian Xiong said again: "If you want to improve your strength quickly, first be prepared to suffer! From today on, you must go back and forth to Fengming Mountain every day wearing the Mysterious Heavy Armor, rain or shine, including the days you have classes from Monday to Wednesday in the future!"

The group looked at each other, the helplessness in their eyes self-evident. On the first day of special training, they felt the pressure from the coach!

"Alright!" Tian Xiong clapped his hands, signaling the group to look at him.

"It's 5:30 in the morning now, everyone run forward! Before the sun rises, I want to see you at the top of Fengming Mountain. During this period, you are not allowed to use your abilities, otherwise you will bear the consequences!"

"Of course, if you can't even complete this challenge, you won't need to participate in team missions in the future. Just pack your bags and get out for me!!"

Tian Xiong scanned the group, the warning self-evident.

"Good luck to you all, I'll wait for you at Fengming Mountain!" After Tian Xiong finished speaking, he strode away.

After Tian Xiong left, Zhao Mingze immediately approached Chen Fan and handed his phone to Chen Fan:

"Brother Fan, look! It's 30 kilometers from here to Fengming Mountain, and there's only an hour and a half left until sunrise. It's very difficult for us to complete the task wearing this thing!"

"30 kilometers is easy to say, but climbing the nearly 4000-meter Fengming Mountain is simply impossible!" Wu Yue added from the side.

"Yeah, I've climbed Fengming Mountain once, the mountain road is very hard to walk!" Ye Qingling frowned slightly.

If they were traveling light, it would be easy for them to complete the challenge, but now carrying a thousand catties and not being allowed to use abilities, this is simply as difficult as ascending to heaven.

"Run, every second counts, no point in saying more!" Chen Fan took the lead and started jogging first. Although the heavy armor was heavy, it couldn't stop his heart that wanted to become stronger.

"Brother Fan, wait for us!" The group didn't dare to linger and hurriedly gritted their teeth to follow.

The five-person team lined up in a row, their steps consistent, which actually looked a bit like a military training exercise.

From the National Martial Arts University to Fengming Mountain, they needed to pass through half of the Changan urban area, and then travel another ten-plus kilometers north along the Fen River to reach the foot of Fengming Mountain.

The group remained silent all the way, with only heavy panting and the dull sound of feet hitting the earth in the air.

Twenty minutes later, they ran out of the Changan urban area. Under their feet was no longer a smooth cement road, but replaced by a bumpy mountain road, which made the group's progress even more difficult.

And at this time, someone in the team finally couldn't hold on.

Ye Qingling was tripped by a protruding stone and almost fell into the rushing Fen River to the side.

"Student Ye, are you okay?" The group hurriedly stopped and helped her up.

"I... I... I'm fine." Ye Qingling's face was pale, and the hair on her forehead had long been soaked by sweat. She was panting, and speaking became extremely difficult.

"Brother Fan, let everyone rest for a while, I can't hold on either." Zhao Mingze supported his body, his legs trembling non-stop, looking at Chen Fan with a face full of pleading.

"What about you guys?" Chen Fan didn't agree, but looked at Gao Yuan and Wu Yue.

"We can't run anymore either, let's rest!" The two said arduously.

"No!!!" Chen Fan's voice was stern, he shouted, bringing out the majesty of a captain.

Besides tempering the physique, the Mysterious Heavy Armor can also temper a person's willpower. Only by constantly squeezing potential and challenging limits can it exert its true effect. If one gives up easily, wanting to quickly improve the physique is a pipe dream.

"You should still remember Teacher Tian's words. If you can't complete the challenge, I won't say a good word for you!" Chen Fan looked at the group and said lightly.

The group's faces turned pale. To be honest, this was the first time they had seen Chen Fan so stern. Several of them were a bit frightened, and for a moment no one dared to contradict him.

"Brothers, don't blame me for not being sentimental. If you lose this momentum, I can guarantee that none of you will complete the challenge."

"If you want to become a powerhouse, you can't even take this bit of suffering? Run for me!"

After Chen Fan finished speaking, he punched a tree as thick as a thigh next to him, breaking it into two sections.

The scene was silent, and the group's breathing seemed to have stopped.

Gao Yuan and Zhao Mingze looked at each other, hurriedly stood up from the ground, and ran forward without a word.

Wu Yue looked at Ye Qingling sitting on the ground and didn't dare to have the slightest hesitation, hurriedly adjusted his breathing, and started running again.

"Miss Ye, what about you? Run or not?" Chen Fan looked at Ye Qingling, who was still sitting on the ground unwilling to get up, his voice a bit cold.

"It's true that your physique is the weakest, but this heavy armor is also the lightest. In your state, you shouldn't have been tripped by a stone."

"The reason you were the first to fall is entirely because you have no determination, and your willpower is the worst!!!"

Ye Qingling didn't expect that Chen Fan, who had always been joking with the group, would have such a stern side.

"Who asked you to care." She had never been scolded like this by a boy. She felt aggrieved in her heart, her nose soured, and she almost cried out.

Chen Fan didn't spoil her, but said lightly: "Miss Ye, you haven't been to a real battlefield, have you?"

"What do you mean?" Ye Qingling raised her head and looked at Chen Fan, clearly unconvinced, "Although our Hidden Dragon Class hasn't experienced the Martial Examination, we have also had graduation exams, and we have also experienced life-and-death battles with strange beasts."

Chen Fan, however, smiled disdainfully: "I'm talking about a real battlefield, the kind where ten thousand beasts roar, corpses litter the field, and blood stains the sky!"

"Have you been to one?" Ye Qingling was clearly unconvinced, snorted lightly, and asked unhappily.

"Of course, and more than once!" Chen Fan said lightly.

At this moment, his thoughts returned to the Battle of Yuliang Pass, returned to the Battle of Qingcheng Defense.

The two battles had a great impact on him, especially the Qingcheng Defense Battle. The scenes of those retired veterans who were disabled but had strong wills, killing enemies while bleeding, and being smashed to pieces made him feel boiling with blood and shocked every time he recalled them.

He lowered his head again and looked at Ye Qingling on the ground: "On the battlefield, I have never seen a soldier retreat or give up. Even if they only have one breath left, they will fight bravely, fearless and undaunted, until death!"

"And you, a little setback defeated you. I don't think you can become a real soldier in the future!" After Chen Fan finished speaking, he didn't look at Ye Qingling anymore, but turned around and chased after Gao Yuan and the others. ===== CHAPTER 115 =====
